I use MS Exchange 5.5 at home to view corparate e-mails and access my calender through internet explorer. is there any way of synchronising the outlook page in exchange with the Outlook 2000 on my computer so i don't have to keep going through the ritual of using internet explorer. if i can do this i would also be able to Synchronise my PDA (Bluetooth) with my home computer.

2 ways I can think of to acomplish this.

1. Have the Exchange Administrators allow for POP3 mail from the Exchange 5.5 server. This will allow you to download the mail from the Exchange server into a Personal Folder in Outlook 2000.

2. If you are close enough to the office that you can go in, you can transfer your mail to a personal folder, then burn the PST file to CD and take home and access with Outlook 2K.

The POP3 mail option is the best if you do not go into the office.

Yes...u can synchronise your mails through outlook 2000....install outlook 2000 and move all the mail to pst...

Well, okay here is the deal:

a) Have your admin enable POP3-Account to be accessible through Outlook - dont use OE (Outlook Express)!!

b) Install Outlook 2000 or 20002. Beware, installing Outlook 2003 - requires the ok from your admin. Otherwise O2K3 might cause trouble with unpatched Exchange 5.5 !!

c) configure Access to your Exchange-Account and activate "Offline Folder" ! This syncs your complete Exchange Account so that u are able to access all files on your Mailbox when you are offline. When you come back to work and get online it syncs with the Mailbox for all changes.

That works better than PST-Files!! Also, if PST-Files get corrupt and you have NO backup, you are SOL!
